Sane Australia research

One of the most vulnerable groups of people in society are those who have just tried to take their own life. New research this week from the mental health group Sane Australia says there is a lack of follow-up treatment for people with a mental illness who have attempted suicide. The group surveyed 285 people diagnosed with a mental illness who had attempted suicide and found that 80% of those were not provided with a crisis plan of what to do if they felt suicidal in the future.
